This post is coming a bit late into the summer as I’ve been experimenting with beauty products to find ones that give me the perfect lightweight makeup look. Summer is when I really try to tone down the amount of makeup that I need to wear to feel presentable. I honestly hate wearing too much heavy makeup anytime of the year but when the temps are hot and it takes very little effort to sweat off your makeup it is important to find products that give you the no-makeup makeup look. Below I’ve outlined the products I’ve been loving lately, several of which include the all important SPF protection.
Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer Illuminating SPF 30
I personally hate wearing full coverage makeup in the summer because the moment you start to sweat your foundation begins to look pretty gross. Tinted moisturizers like this one from Laura Mercier are my go-to. This one provides a sheer hint of coverage for an effortless no-makeup makeup luminous finish. Bonus that it also has SPF 30 incorporated into the formula so you’re skin is protected from harmful rays. As with most things, this works best if applied on top of primer.
Things to know:
- Broad Spectrum SPF 30 UVB/UVA
- Vitamin Complex of C & E that helps protect the skin from the damaging effects of the environment.
- Naturally plant derived complex that binds moisture to the skin for long lasting hydration.
Nudestix All Over Dewey Color
Nudies Bloom is a dewey stick that melts into your skin to give a beautiful rosy color. This can be used on lips, cheeks and eyes to create a monochromatic look. It’s great for hot days because it is long-wearing and water-resistant to keep your color in place even through the sweat. The stick comes with a brush on the opposite end that can be used to blend the color into your skin. The brush is also removable so that it can be cleaned as needed.
Things to know:
- Vegan
- Hypoallergenic
- Gluten-free
- Cruelty-free
- Fragrance Free
- Formulated without parabens, sulfates, phthalates
Sugar Tinted Lip Treatment SPF 15
Though I’ve gotten better at remembering to put SPF on my face, my lips are another story. That’s why I love these tinted lip balms from Fresh which have SPF 15. These balms also deliver hours of moisture to ensure your lips don’t dry out. Outside of everyday wear, these are my favorite to bring to the beach or the pool for SPF protection and for a light pop of color on my lips.
Things to know:
- SPF 15
- Sulfate-free; paraben-free; phthalate-free; petroleum-free; mineral oil-free; lanolin-free
Burt’s Bees All Aglow Highlighter Stick
I’ve been a Burt’s Bees user for a very long time back to when chapstick was their main product. I love seeing how the brand has evolved into creating full beauty line of clean and natural products.
I love using their highlighter stick to instantly illuminate my skin. I typically use it to highlight my cheek and brow bones but you can use it in all the usual places that you’d put any other highlighter product. The product is lightweight and non-sticky as well as hydrating and long-lasting. It applies smoothly and blends easily without any heavy or cakey feeling.
Things to know:
- Dermatologist tested; formulated without parabens, phthalates, petrolatum or SLS
- 100% natural, made with moisturizing Coconut Oil, Jojoba Oil, Cupuacu Butter, and Daikon Radish Extract for hydration
